14 vinyl pressings of Love Breakdown are listed here, from 8 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1992, in Europe, UK, Denmark, Belgium and more. One of them is Pulse-8 Records 12 LOSE 25, released April 27, 1992.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 12 LOSE 25, LOSE 25, 12LOSE 25 DJ, MRCX 122513) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
It depends on which pressing you have and on the condition of the record and its sleeve. Early pressings from the album's home country in near mint condition are usually worth the most; common later reissues are worth far less. Scan your copy with VinylLens to see its value for every grade.
